Technical Data Sheet
Corrosion Resistance
Ugitech 4418 has similar corrosion behavior as AISI 304. Its high Stress Corrosion
percentage of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum and its low carbon Ugitech 4418 resists stress corrosion cracking for more than 720
give this grade good atmospheric corrosion resistance. The salt ma- hours at ambient temperature when exposed to a 4.5 pH solution with
rine atmosphere resistance is equivalent to AISI 630. 10% H2S. Test conditions used—NACE TM0177 for AISI 630 grades.

Pitting Corrosion
Environment Behavior
The pitting corrosion of 4418 is equivalent to AISI 304L (with 0.02%
sulfur) and AISI 630 when pitting potentials were measured in a Nitric Acid
0.02M NaCI solution at 23º C.

Technical Data Sheet
Hardenability (Cold Working)
4418 can be cold formed, however this grade calls for special care
because of the high strength and high work hardening rate of the
grade. Tools must be very rigid and high powered. 4418 may need
intermediate annealing after extreme cold deformation.
Tempering is recommended after cold working > 5%. Tempering or
full treating should be done after extensive forming.
Welding
4418 can be readily welded with conventional arc welding methods
(GTAW, SMAW, etc) and by most other welding processes (spot,
seam, laser, etc). 4418 is easier to weld than most martensitic
stainless steels due to its nickel and low carbon content. The low
carbon martensite with the finely dispersed residual austenite yields
an excellent HAZ toughness in the as welded condition. Plus the
welds in 4418 are only slightly susceptible to cracking. It is generally
not necessary to preheat the parts prior to welding, but can vary with
application. Preheating to 212°F - 395°F (100°C - 200°C) is sug-
gested for very thick section or when there is a stress concentration
at the weld zone after cooling.
A 4418 filler metal can be used when the properties of the weld metal
must have the same mechanical properties as the base metal. A
post weld heat treatment at 1075°F - 1110°F (580°C - 600°C) is
recommended. Austenitic weld metal, such as A316LM or A317LT
can be used when the weld metal does not need to be at the same
mechanical properties. Post weld heat treatment is not necessary.
MIG Welding - A slightly oxide shielding gas such as Ar + 1-2% CO2
can be chosen to avoid a high oxygen content in the weld metal and
ensure good impact properties.
Machinability
The key to Ugitech’s 4418 lies in the production process. Careful
control of alloy content and distribution of metallurgical phases results
in better tool life, improved surface finish, and excellent chip control
across a wide range of cutting conditions.
The table on the following page, in conjunction with the Machinability
guidelines, provides a useful guide for initial set-up. To realize the
optimal potential of either grade, contact your local application engi-
neer. A review of your current set-up will allow specific recommenda-
tions adapted to 4418 in any condition.

4418 as your competitive advantage.

Brea, CA (800) 255-6975 • Mahwah, NJ (800) 528-5801
Forging (Hot Working)
The following conditions are recommended for forging 4418
• Heat between 2100°F - 2155°F (1150°C - 1180°C)
• Forge in the range of 1650°F - 2155°F (900°C - 1180°C)
• After forging, cool in air.
It is recommended 4418 be fully heat treated after forging.
The forging behavior of 4418 is similar to AISI 304.
Heat Treatment
4418 can be heat treated as follows:
• Austenitize - Heat to 1740°F - 1920°F (950°C - 1050°C)
• Quench in oil (air quenching allowed for thin cross-sections)
• QT900 - 1090°F - 1145°F (590°C - 620°C) for 8 hours followed
by oil of air cooling. Tempering can follow two 4 hour cycles at
temperature, each followed by an oil or air cool.
Notes:
1) Tempering should be performed immediately after the
quenching to avoid quench cracks.
2) To avoid embrittlement, heat and cool through the 785°F -
1022°F (420°C - 550°C) temperature range as quickly as pos-
sible.
Machinability Table Guidelines
1. The machining table values are initial suggestions and can vary
depending on machine and cutting conditions.
2. The use of coated carbide tooling is highly suggested for this
grade.
3. Tooling grades in parenthesis denotes alternate tooling.
4. When using coated tools, speeds and feeds should be increased
by 10-15%.
5. Drill speeds were developed for 140° angle drills with a split point
or equivalent.
6. Drilling conditions are valid for hole depths up to 4 times drill
diameter
7. Speeds and feeds given above apply to highly rigid equipment.
Reductions may be necessary on cross-slide operations or less
rigid equipment.
8. The use of C5 or better carbides is highly suggested. Reduce
speeds by 25-40% when using C1-C3 carbides
9. The use of inserts with positive rake angles are suggested to
reduce cutting forces for low powered, multispindle, or older ma-
chinery (i.e.-CCMT, VBMT, DCMT)
10. Carbide insert grades found to work well with Ugitech’s 4418
are SECO TP2500, and Sandvik’s GC2025 or GC1125
